Yaheetech Potting Bench Outdoor Garden Work Bench Station Planting Solid Wood Construction for Horticulture w/Sink Drawer Rack Shelves Natural Wood

Assembly was a breeze — took about 45 minutes max to put together. Just lay out the pieces in numerical order to make life easier. The bench came unfinished or maybe minimal clear coat (not sure), but I sanded this piece and put 2 coats of polyurethane (sanding in between coats). This results in a nicer looking, more durable, somewhat scratch-resistant and easier cleaning work surface. I have mine next to my grill under an awning, so it isn’t sitting under the direct sun 24/7, but here in Florida it will still get wet so I wanted to protect it more. Having it sealed should do the trick. The bottom shelf is the perfect size for 4 chlorine bottles (I measured before I bought), there’s plenty of room for some planting stuff, hooks for grilling or planting tools too. The drawer is sturdy as is the whole setup. The “sink” is nice to have but wasn’t a deal breaker. Most of the time, I keep a cutting board on top of it anyway. I added a couple of bar mats to the top tier and use silicone mats to put hot items while grilling to protect the wood. I also added a couple of strong magnets on the side to hold whatever metal tools I’m using at the moment. All in all, this is a pretty good find and is working very well for my needs. I do wish the wood was a little thicker, but this piece should last quite a while nevertheless.

3 Year Update: The front next to the drawer came off because nails got rusted, and popped off. Wood is bowing because it's so soft. I have a six bed vegetable garden, and would rather use a utility table and shelving. I'm moving it opposite of the guest bedroom window, or just outside the sunroom. It's an occasional use, or showpiece bench. Review after a few months: The wood seems soft. Doesn't feel like it's weatherproofed either. Otherwise it is sturdy, and a lovely addition to our backyard. I have it in the shade on our porch right now, but before we move it to the side of the house we plan to paint it with clear weatherproofing stain. I split the wood at the top because I didn't drill the hole first. The instructions say nothing about this, but to make sure the soft wood doesn't split I recommend drilling before putting in the screw. Otherwise it is a lovely workspace table. I recommend it.

If you have a drill and can make it past the first 2 steps of the assembly without losing patience and scrapping the whole project...it's really not that hard to assemble. But the holes are not pre drilled, expect to use your drill on almost every step of the process. The end result is worth the effort. It's a nice looking, sturdy and functional potting bench. The wood is unfinished so if you're planning on using it outside where it may get wet, I'd suggest using a waterproof sealant. Other reviews mentioned that the top shelf is too small to be useful, but it's actually the perfect size to hold 4 inch pots with saucers. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. It's a cute and functional addition to my patio. I think that it was reasonably priced for the quality.

We got 2. One had a little damage but not too critical and luckily not in a readily visible location. It is made of actual wood instead of particle board. Hardware was nice Extra screw here or there and nuts. The instructions were well organized with lattering and numbering on boards and hardware packets. It is pretty light, a man could lift it by himself. Everything could be assembled by one person. One board on the top shelf back was a little tricky to hold in place. Had to put in the screw one handed type deal. The pre assembled bits were done with some adhesive and small gold nails that are visible on the top surface. For longevity I would guess a couple years of use if left out in the elements. I did 5 stars but labeled as acceptable because I thought it had a good value for the cost. It does smell of stain so if that bothers you plan to assemble outside. It is package with lots of foam wrap and what I call forbidden Styrofoam. Styrofoam does get everywhere but not as bad as others since the foam is only on the box corners. Hardware was well packaged. Secured with a ribbon to the box and triple bagged in a bubble envelope than large plastic bag and then their individual packets. All ties were done to be easily undone which was nice. I used glue on the drawers as they are simple screw corners. Total assembly time for me with a drill was about 1 hour while watching tv.

The instructions are not great, there were two extra parts numbers 12 and 13 that are not in the instructions. Watch the video the parts are in there. For the price this is ok, the wood seems thin and too soft to hold up outdoors. Couple pieces were damaged in shipping (box was torn) and since a Christmas gift I glued and clamped then put together. Overall happy but time will tell if holds up.

This is super cute and worked out exactly the way I wanted it to. It took a little while to put it together, but it was not difficult at all. I was able to do it by myself. I leave it outside, so I plan to epoxy it to ensure it is weatherproofed. I use it often for repotting my plants. The surface area is great. I love the little plastic tub for mixing my soil and the storage. Every inch of it gets used.

Easy to assemble, I love it when the pieces are numbered for easy accessibility! Color was perfect for an outdoor table, a couple touch ups blended together. What impressed me was how sturdy the table is! My daughter loved her plant table, a win win all around. Would purchase again.

This is a great product very functional my mother-in-law loves it! Only a couple issues arose when putting it together due to lack of pre-drilled holes. The wood split in the drawer. I couldn’t put one screw in the top back because the wood was splitting and would have weakened it. Despite this it is a great product. If you get this I would recommend adding a couple pre-drilled holes it’s and extra step but I think it would be worth it.
